Just before 1:30 p.m., the Tampa Police Department spotted a vehicle driven by Crockett as it traveled south on Interstate 75 in Tampa. A high-speed police chase ensued, with Crockett reaching speeds more than 100 mph. Crockett eventually crashed his vehicle on the Exit 9 ramp to I-75.

A little before 2 p.m., Crockett let go of his son and law enforcement officers safely took the child into custody. Crockett eventually surrendered to Tampa Police at 7:40 p.m.

Crockett will be extradited back to Georgia to face three counts of murder and one count of kidnapping in connection with the Macon shooting, which remains under investigation, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
